Sunderland 1-0 Wolves
So nearly 2-0!
It's all Sunderland with Nordi Mukiele's long-throws causing all sorts of problems.
His latest into the Wolves box is flicked on by Dan Ballard into the path of Trai Hume who hits the post.
Wolves are on the ropes.
Brighton 0-0 Newcastle

It's not only the threat the rapid Brighton winger offers going forward - it's his work rate without it. He's tireless.
His decision making still needs work, but there is a reason the hosts keep getting the ball out to him on the right.
You can see why Newcastle United did not want to lose him in the summer of 2024 after the club had to rush to raise funds to avoid a breach of profit and sustainability rules (PSR).
Man City 0-0 Everton
Manchester City win a corner and a tussle in the box ends with Jake O'Brien's header pinging off the bar.
He was under serious pressure form Erling Haaland but it would have gone down as an own goal. Jordan Pickford was beaten.

A really concerning first twenty minutes for Wolves. 8 matches in, 2 points, -10 goal difference. This has such an ominous feel to it and is reminiscent of 2011-2012 - totally devoid of motivation from the players and no answers. Other teams need to learn the lesson from this - sell all of your best players and fail to replace them and you’ll be Championship-bound.
Joe, Wolves
Sunderland 1-0 Wolves
A reminder, Sunderland were in League One in 2022.
They're seventh in the Premier League right now.
Burnley 1-0 Leeds
The tide has well and truly turned at Turf Moor and it's now Leeds who need to weather the storm.
They've got to stay in touching distance here.

Glenn Murray
Former Crystal Palace and Brighton striker on Final Score
You can pick bits in the defending, but the ball in from Kyle Walker is superb. Lesley Ugochukwu isn't being marked, but it is still a brilliant header.

The Newcastle players are rushing to chest bump Malick Thiaw after he deals with the danger of Yankuba Minteh.
The Brighton winger should do better in the box but it's great defending.

Everton need better than Beto.
Mike, Dorset
Some chat among the Radio 5 Live pundits before the match that Everton could do with a new striker - agree Toffees fans?
Sunderland 1-0 Wolves
What a wonderful feel-good story Sunderland are turning out to be.
Back in the Premier League for the first time since 2017, many expected them to really struggle.
But Regis Le Bris has got the Black Cats bouncing. They're a delight to watch as well, full of attacking vigour.
Lesley Ugochukwu (18 mins)
What a cross that is from Kyle Walker!
Burnley opt for a short throw to the full-back and he whips in a pinpoint cross right on the head of Lesley Ugochukwu.
Work for Leeds to do now.

Joelinton will be a very relieved man right now.
He gives the ball away in a poor away to Georginio Rutter. He drives and rattles a shot off but Nick Pope gets a big left hand to it.
Sunderland 1-0 Wolves
Ellen White
Former England striker on Final Score
A lovely finish. Sunderland have been so fluid moving the ball around and they look the better team. It is a lovely worked goal.
Man City 0-0 Everton
Pat Nevin
Former Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 Live at Etihad Stadium
It's been an enjoyable game so far. Everton have been under a little bit of pressure but they are breaking well.
Crystal Palace 0-1 Bournemouth
Luke Chambers
Former Nottingham Forest defender on 5 Sports Extra
Palace have started OK but there is no real zip for them. Bournemouth are committing so many bodies forward, Palace just can't get rid them.

That move by Baleba looked like prime Zidane. Effortlessly took out 4 Newcastle players.
Phil, Edinburgh
Brighton 0-0 Newcastle
Brighton look on it this afternoon as Danny Welbeck somehow gets out of the tightest of gaps before the Seagulls win a corner, but Nick Pope catches with no problems.
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace 0-1 Bournemouth
Bournemouth are shouting for a penalty after Antoine Semenyo is brought down in the box but referee Jarred Gillett is having none of it.
Man City 0-0 Everton
Matheus Nunes tries his luck from 23-yards out but he drags it just wide.
It was enough to make Jordan Pickford move.
Nordi Mukiele
Should Sam Johnstone have saved that?
No-one really cares as the Stadium of Light explodes in delight after Nordi Mukiele finishes off a delightful move which involved a one-two with Trai Hume.
Wolves' search for a first league clean sheet goes on.

Fulham have only won one of their last 14 Premier League games against Arsenal (D4 L9), a 2-1 victory in December 2023. Indeed, the Cottagers have conceded at least once in each of their last 20 against the Gunners in the competition.
After winning five successive league visits to Fulham from 2012-13 to 2022-23, Arsenal have since failed to win at Craven Cottage in both of the last two campaigns (D1 L1). The Gunners last failed to win more consecutive league visits to Fulham in April 1962 (6).
Arsenal have only lost one of their last 18 London derbies in the Premier League (W13 D4), a 0-1 home defeat to West Ham in February last season. Indeed, since the start of 2022-23, the Gunners have only lost one of their 18 away league matches against fellow London sides (W13 D4), although that was at Fulham in December 2023 (2-1).
Fulham have won both of their last two Premier League home games, last winning three in a row at Craven Cottage in December 2023. The Cottagers are looking to avoid defeat in each of their opening four home matches of a league season for the first time since 2011-12.
Since facing 22 shots against Manchester United on MD1, Arsenal have restricted their opponents to fewer than 10 shots in all six of their Premier League games. The last side to face fewer than 10 shots in more successive matches in the competition were Liverpool from April to August 2022 (9), while the Gunners themselves have never had a longer run on Opta’s records in the league (from 2003-04).
Fulham have lost both of their last two Premier League games, and could lose three in a row for the first time since December 2023. They have shipped three goals in both of those last two defeats, last conceding 3+ more times in a row in the competition in September 2020 (4) – a run that included a 0-3 home defeat to Arsenal.
Arsenal have had 14 counter attacking phases of play in the Premier League this season – the most of any side. Last season, the Gunners ranked 17th for this with just 47 in the whole campaign.
No side has had more different goalscorers (excl. own goals) in the Premier League this season than Arsenal (9, level with Brighton). Only twice before have the Gunners had 10 different players score within their opening eight matches of a Premier League season, doing so in 2009-10 (10 in 4th game) and 2018-19 (8th).
Fulham’s Alex Iwobi has made eight line-breaking passing into the opposition’s penalty area in the Premier League this season, with only Bruno Fernandes (9) making more. Iwobi has also created four chances via line-breaking passes in the division this term, with Fernandes again the only player to do so more (5).
Declan Rice has scored (1) or assisted (1) in both of Arsenal’s last two Premier League games; the midfielder has only had a hand in a goal in three successive appearances in the competition twice before, doing so in February/March 2024 and April/May 2024. Rice has six goal involvements (2 goals, 4 assists) in his last seven away London derbies in the Premier League.
